An Idaho sleuth hunts a missing woman after a series of bizarre accidents, in this mystery from the #1 New York Times–bestselling author.
 
After a small plane plummets into a gas station in rural Idaho, ex-musician and sometimes-sleuth Chris Klick knows that his dream of a quieter, simpler life far from Los Angeles may not be as easy to achieve as he hoped . . .
 
Now he must team up with his buddy Lyel to track down a missing county courthouse employee connected to the plane crash and other freak accidents. Was she kidnapped? Is she on the run from her creditors? Searching for answers and finding only trouble, Klick’s questions pile up as the stakes climb ever higher.
 
Originally published under the name Wendell McCall, this is the follow-up to Dead Aim, a mystery which “balances all the best P.I. elements with a lyrical sense of the country . . . Sardonic, wry, and remarkable in both plotting and pacing” (Kirkus Reviews).

Ridley Pearson is a New York Times–bestselling author with over twenty-four novels published. His work is extremely diverse, from children’s fiction to crime novels, paranormals, and adventure. His novels often incorporate a compelling combination of realistic high-tech forensic wizardry and hair-trigger suspense. One of his best-known crime novels, Undercurrents, contained cutting-edge forensic ideas that helped solve a real-life homicide case. Another, Chain of Evidence, was the first to raise the possibility of a “crime gene”—which later became the focus of a high-profile genetics conference. He has published several popular crime series featuring recurring characters, as well as standalone novels under his own name and the pseudonyms Joyce Reardon, PhD, and Wendell McCall. His latest thriller, The Red Room, featuring John Knox, was published in June 2014. Pearson was the first American to receive the Raymond Chandler Fulbright Fellowship at Oxford University, the site of his research for bestselling novels No Witnesses and The Angel Maker. He was also a founding member and bass player for the Rock Bottom Remainders, a band comprised of bestselling authors including Dave Barry and Stephen King.
